We copy the following special to the
| Picayune from Quitman, Oct. IL:
| Some days ago | wrote you about Mr..
John Wilson's troubles in Pachuta, in this
county, and Of their elimination in the
| burning Of his barn, stables cows, horses,
provender, etc, and the bare escape OF his
| dwelling from the torch Of the incendiary.
Although the neighbors are terribly
aroused, yet their utmost vigilance has not
discovered the perpetrator Of these diaool-
ical act.
Night before last Mr. Wilson's fine two
story frame dwelling was fired in the rear
about midnight, when he and his family
were asleep, the culprit having removed
the well rope and bucket. fendish yell
reached the top of the house. This alarm
ed the family at once, and they saw the in
cendiary running. The moon was shining
brightly He appeared to be negro man.
Mr.. Wilson came from Michigan three
years ago, and is worthy citizen and well
esteemed by all. He is much discouraged
and thinks of moving at once. We trust
he will not do this, az we think the coils OF
the law viii soon be thrown around the
wretch whose hostility he has incurred.

And winking tapers show the sun his way;
